I know Nerdy, who could have known what a powerful part of the resistance Pete Souza would turn out to be!?

I love how that truck in the background of the ABC clip reads, “BLACKMAN” and FPBO is in the foreground, just exemplifying the best of what that means (he truly exemplifies the best of what being a man means, period).

Trump knows he won’t be received by his home town like FPBO (Forever President Barack Obama) is. That’s why he’s staying away. Ha ha ha ha ha Tiny Handed Traitor: Doesn’t matter how many cakes you copy, FLOTUS speeches you steal or crowd sizes you overestimate, you will never, ever come anywhere near his brilliance, or inspire the love and loyalty he has earned.

So many of the former Obama staff is in the trenches in so many different ways. They saw goodness, intelligence decency, integrity, effectiveness and love up close and personal and they are not leaving the field to this current monstrosity. From cabinet members to the former white house lawyers, to the former staffers, interns, and volunteers, to his photographer (love the timely shade that Pete puts out), this is an army of talented people who are on the battlefield to save and improve the republic. One man inspired so many by his example. He cannot and should not be in front of the army; he gave us an example to follow and our marching orders in his farewell address.

See G.W. Bush stay in hiding when he left the White House because his approval rating was so low, but President Obama approval rating is still high and the people still like him. Our President and First Lady is still like. I think so many people miss them alot.

My son’s in laws are from Trinidad and Jamaica (legally) and they usually go back for Carnival at this time… I do not know if they’ll do it this time. I know they have been upset- two of them work at the NIH and the FBI. They have to worry about their jobs and now this travel sh*t.

My co-worker is from Jamaica. She is a recent citizen, recently applied for her passport so she could go home and take care of some family business. But she’s put her travels on hold for a bit. This is crazy.

Take that back. Who needs another old guy? Plenty of younger guys around. And I need that Presidential Pension and Secret Service coverage anyway. Who knows, maybe one of those guys can do double duty…..

Too many politicians, organizations, and other people are using the resistance to drum up money. Where there is money to be had there are cams and I hope people do not let their passion lead them to being cheated. I am especially pissed by the begging emails and calls I get from the lame DNC and politicians who stood by for 8 years and let PBO do all of the heavy-lifting. These politicians are playing catch-up merely to avoid being primaried and to appear like they are doing something about the criminals in the people’s house. They do nothting but send letters to state the obvious problems and ask for donations. I just unsubscribed MoveOn.org after they sent an email with Bernie Sanders mess. I wrote them a hot note about why I wanted no more communications from them. I would suggest that donations be given only to tried and true organizations that have worked for social justice for years, OFA and a few other organizations that have Obama alumni.

J’OB, Darell Issa knows he is in trouble. He barely won re-election and may not make it in 2018. Nevertheless, his unequivocal statement endorsing an independently conducted investigation about the relationship between Trump and Putin was “huge”.

COS, I agree about Pence. Republicans has push the notion that President Obama was against Israel, I don’t believe that one bit. America has always stood with Israel, it’s just that some leaders want to see a fair solution for Israel and Palestine. For both people.

“there spine is weak” – who would have thought the odd GOPer doesn’t believe in death as the alternative to the ACA. The one’s without a spine are those who would steal people’s lives because they can. These are truly horrible people and the president is the worst of them and people VOTED for this hatred to spread across your land. Horrifying.

These people have lost their ever loving minds. This Bannon guy leading Birther by the nose, is ruining the image of this country and hurting citizens, causing loss of life like the Indian man in Kansas. Just terrible.

And this is a white woman, from a country that is supposedly a friend of the US. How those with not such white skin could survive this treatment – with absolutely no chance of an apology is such a terrible injustice. The man has released an internal army of hate and it’s spreading outside the border. The US will have no friends within a year. F. face can go nowhere without getting booed – inside or outside the US.

So now we are at war with Australia? WTF! these border patrol people are out of their minds, emboldened by these WH fools. But the one thing about this is that she can now bear witness. If a 70 year old white woman, from an allied nation is treated the way she was for two hours, you know it is even more extreme for brown and black people. Ms. Fox stated: ” I have never in my life been spoken to with such disdain, with so many insults, and with such gratuitous impoliteness”; think of the people who have suffered such treatment for centuries. Already the tourism business is suffering because of what is going on here; they did not figure in that people who are not Muslim, or Brown would be appalled by such racism and would boycott a country that is falling to fascism. They did not think it through because they believed that most people feel as they do. I can see other more business fall-out coming. Soon, the full force of international law will be levied against the US and sanctions will follow. At some point our money will have such a stench that other nations will be willing to take the chance of any potential economic fallout, to stand on principle. Money is the only power recognized in this country and it is only when the economy takes a real hit, that the moral and legal arguments will have weight.

I saw on twitter this morning that Nina Turner said if Ellison doesn’t win they are all leaving the party. I say let them go. They aren’t Dems and they don’t care about the Democratic Party. They only care about their ideology. I am really tired of them saying you bow to us or we will ruin you. They don’t care about the party as a whole they only care about their ideaolgy and Bernie. And Bernie is not a Democrat.
